I am trying to add a SiteSetting to my plugin that can control the icons displayed for some components. The component itself was already going to be user customizable, so I wanted to add the SiteSetting as a way for staff to define the default icon. I know there is emoji_list type for SiteSettings, but there doesn’t seem to be one for SVG icons?
From what I can see, most plugins/TC use either image upload or plain string for icon settings. Am I missing a type/validator I can use? It feels weird to tell people to look up the styleguide and type the name of the icon.
I think it’s a case where we don’t have any icon based site settings, so we haven’t added a type for it. We have an icon picker component that’s made its way into other parts of the app, but nothing currently in site settings.
That makes sense. I can’t really imagine any specific scenario where core would require it, as probably only Themes/TCs and plugins would have a use for an extremely UI focused setting.
I am using the icon picker component in other places more easily accessible for ordinary users, but the specific use case I have in mind would be for stuff like setting a default icon. Combined with the object SiteSetting type, it would make templating certain features easier for admins.
Would the team be open to adding an icon_type type to SiteSettings in core, even without any core site settings using it? I don’t mind reopening this topic as a Feature request if need be.
